전기절연재의 구조재로 많이 사용되고 있는 FRP(fiber reinforced plastics)는 열경화성 수지를 접착성 결합제(binder)로 하고 고강도 섬유를 보강재로 한 복합재료로서 기계적, 화학적, 전기적 특성이 매우 우수하다. FRP의 기계적 강도는 유리섬유에 의존 하고 있으므로 유리섬유의 방향과 힘을 가하는 방향에 따라서 그 강도의 차이는 매우 크게 나타난다. 본 연구에서는 섬유의 배향에 따른 강도의 변화를 이해하기 위하여 시편을 제작하여 압축강도를 측정하고 압축강도와 응력의 분포를 유한요소법으로 시뮬레이션하였다. FRP rod에 압축응력이 가해졌을 때 섬유의 배향에 따른 파괴강도와 응력의 분포를 유한요소법을 이용하여 시뮬레이션하였고 모델링에는 3-D Shell과 3-D Brick 요소를 사용하였다. 제작된 시편의 강도특성과 시뮬레이션을 통한 응력의 분포를 서로 비교하여 시편의 파괴에 미치는 응력을 고찰하였다.

There is a concern with worldwide deterioration of highway bridges, particularly reinforced concrete. The advantages of fibre reinforced plastic(FRP) composites over conventional materials motivate their use in highway bridges for replacement of structures. Recently, an FRP deck has been installed on a state highway, located in New York State, as an experimental project. In this paper, a systematic approach for analysis of this FRP deck bridge is presented. Multi-step linear numerical analyses have been performed using the finite element method to study the structural behavior and the possible failure mechanism of the FRP deck-superstructure system Deck's self-weight and ply orientations at the interface between steel girders and FRP deck are considered in this study. From this research, the results of the numerical analyses were corroborated with field test results. Analytical results reveal several potential failure mechanism for the FRP deck and truss bridge system The results presented in this study may be used to propose engineering design guideline for new and replacement FRP bridge deck structure.

In our research, we focused on the FBG sensor system which is one of the fiber optic sensor system. The FBG sensor system is used for structural measurements. The problem of FBG sensor is very thin and weak. The methods that can protect FBG optical fiber sensor front outside forces such as the impacts are investigated. The FBG sensor embedded in the fiber reinforced composites which can replace the reinforcing steel bars in concretes can be applied to the concrete structures by embedding to the composite materials. The progresses in tensile strength of FBG sensor embedded in the reinforcing FRP bars in the concrete structures compare to plain FBGs were observed and the good long term durability is expected.

A A12024-T3 plate has been reinforced with AFRP to be a Hybrid-Composite, APAL. The fatigue life of the APAL has been investigated. The effects of bonding surface, numbers of AFRP bonded and AFRP orientation on fatigue life have been compared with A12024-T3 plate. Fatigue life of APAL has been remarkedly increased compared with that of A12024-T3 plate. The fatigue life has depended on bonding surface and AFRP orientation, but no relationship could be found with numbers of AFRP laminates.

플레저보트의 고강도 및 경량화 추세에 따라 복합재료 등 관련 소재의 경량화가 요구되었고, 이에 부응하여 관련 신소재 개발과 진공성형 신건조공법 등이 출현하였으며, 이러한 신공법을 이용한 선박건조가 증가하고 있는 실정에 따라 선박의 구조강도 평가가 중요한 과제로 부각되고 있다. 또한 선박의 안전성 확보와 고객의 편리 도모를 위한 플레저보트 구조강도 확인을 위한 시험방법 등도 다양화할 필요가 있다. 따라서 진공적층 및 수적층 성형방법으로 건조한 플레저보트를 대상으로 선체구조 강도 시험 결과를 비교 분석하여 우리 실정에 적합하고 플레저보트의 안정성 평가를 위한 선체구조 강도 시험 기준안을 제시하고자 한다.

A recent application of advanced composite materials, primarily fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) composites, in structures is the reinforcement of conventional structural materials, such as concrete and glued-laminated timber (glulam), to increase their performance. In particular, the construction of large-scale glulam structures usually requires members with large depths and to significantly increase the stiffness and strength of glulam, the members can be reinforced with FRP at top and bottom surfaces. In this paper, glulam beams reinforced with GFRP strip are tested under 2-point bending and results are compared with numerical solution using layer-wise beam theory.

Circular sawing and milling are general machining processes used for routing fiber-reinforced plastics (FRP). In this study, the productivity and cutting quality of a circular saw and flat endmill were compared. As a result, the productivity of the circular saw was approximately ten times higher than that of the endmill for the same tool life, and the burr size of the circular saw was 14 times smaller than that of the flat-end mill. The spectrogram analysis of the cutting sound also showed that the acoustic emission of the circular saw was more uniform than that of the flat end mill. Circular sawing is thus a more suitable process for the straight cutting of pultrusion FRP than a flat endmill.

Since 1990s, these many researchers have been fully involved in developing recycling methods for FRP boats. There are four basic classes of recycling covered in the literature. the first is "Mechanical recycling" which involves shredding and grinding of the scrap FRP in a new product. Despite of the safety hazards, mechanical recycling is one of the simpler and more technically proven methods. Recent researchers should be more interested in these methods. It is fact that most of FRP wastes are depended on incineration or reclamation. Because it Is made up of reinforced fiber glass, it is very difficult to break into pieces. By the disposing of waste FRP this way, it also occurs secondary problem such as air pollution and unacceptable noise. This study is to propose a new method which is efficient and environment friendly waste FRP regenerating.

In this study, a fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) pipe with superior wear resistance was developed to replace the fly ash pipe of cast iron. Wear test was performed with various combinations of SiC filler and resin materials of unsaturated polyester, vinylester, epoxy, and phenol. Test results of ASTM D4060 showed the optimal combinations of resin, filler size, and resin/filler ratios. Test results of comparison between FRP and cast iron showed the possibility to replace cast iron pipe with the FRP pipe. Field test executed to compare the wear resistance between cast iron pipe and developed FRP pipe showed the superiority of the FRP pipe.

Recently, much research has been conducted on FRP composite to replace steel. However, the concept of FRP girder filled with concrete has not been fully attempted. This study focuses on the analytical behavior of FRP girders filled with concrete. FRP girders usually have large deflection due to relatively low elastic modulus compared to steel members. However, in the previous experimental investigation on small sized modular beams, it has been verified that the displacement of FRP-girder filled with concrete is reduced and the strength is increased considerably. In this research, analytical investigations have conducted to verify the analytical method by comparing the results with tests. In addition, analyses on large girders assembled with small modules have been carried out to predict the feasibility before tests. The analytical results showed that the assembled FRP girders can be used as substitutes for steel girders.
